A historic and interesting city
On our little walk through Clermont and along the left side of the Church of Saint-Samson, we found the only existing gate of the three that existed during the medieval age in this city.
Dating from the fourteenth century, this door was a necessary step to take if you wanted to get in and out of the town of Clermont in the direction of Compiegne. On top of the door was the guardroom that protected the city which at that time was surrounded by moats.
